Thanks, Ski. Interesting. Bears some thought though
your comment on the economic side is almost certainly correct. Possible they did consider it but the ideologues wouldn't let them change.
I don't think the US has ever had a Grand Strategy however there's no doubt we have had and have some enduring policies -- not least on the economic side.
I think our policy, unwritten in a sense, of not tolerating threats and using disruption instead of co-option is a long standing thing as well but do not believe it rises to the level of a strategy because the application from Administration to Administration has been very different and occasionally not practiced. Containment was a policy for a long time but it was not, strictly speaking a strategy. Things to ponder.
Thanks again.
